Re: string::compare() problem?

Hi,

first, the current behavior is correct: strings are compared "lexicographically":
ever wondered why in your dictionary 'express' comes before 'expressionism'? ;)

Why doesn't this give 0? According to my reading of the function, it should only compare the first 2 chars of each string.

	int __r = traits_type::compare(_M_data(), __str.data(), __len);
	if (!__r)
	  __r =  __size - __osize;

If...

Paolo.
